"We've been at it all summer, from the Canadian border to the edge of Mexico . . ."
Romance and poetry seem to go hand in hand but implicit, explicit, nuanced or starkly frank sex itself has long been a staple subject for poets. In fact a great deal of erotic poetry rejects the distinction.

Nejslavnější postava z pera královny zločinu je zpět… Potomci Agathy Christie svolili k návratu Hercula Poirota na stránky nových napínavých příběhů. Nesnadného úkolu důstojně navázat na tradici poirotovských detektivek se ujala bestsellerová autorka Sophie Hannah. Výsledkem jsou Vraždy s monogramem, spletitý případ zasazený do Londýna 20. let minulého století. Ďábelsky chytrý hlavolam plný falešných stop a snadno přehlédnutelných, o to však důležitějších detailů může rozřešit jen legendární belgický puntičkář a jeho brilantní...
